Description

Job Description:

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a resourceful, energetic writer to cover corporate sustainability.

Government incentives and decarbonization promises have pushed sustainability related issues to the forefront of business policy and strategy. Investors are scrutinizing companies' environmental and social performance and plans. Regulators are mandating new non-financial disclosures. Customers want to know that companies are doing good, not just doing well. You will chronicle the new opportunities and pitfalls awaiting businesses as a result.

As a reporter for WSJ Pro Sustainable Business, you will write about companies trying new things, adapting their businesses, coping with new demands and scrutiny while also puzzling over the risks and opportunities of the energy transition.

This position is based in London and will report to the bureau chief of WSJ Pro Sustainable Business.

You will:

Analyze and explain how companies are approaching their climate goals and business transition.
Explore and dig into the maze of mandatory and voluntary standards for sustainabilityrelated disclosures, and how companies are negotiating it.
Report and write to a professional audience about how companies are managing their sustainability strategies, including hiring decisions, strategy updates and tough choices about how to balance financial and nonfinancial objectives.
Convey insight that business leaders can use to make better decisions.
Produce a range of stories including breaking news, exclusives, features and original analyses that are compelling to the informed professional reader.
Travel to companies and events in key markets to develop your original reporting.

You have:

A roster of industry contacts and eagerness to continue cultivating sources among senior leaders and executives at companies, investors and policymakers across global business centers.
At least three years of experience writing about climate

- and sustainability-related issues.

The ability to explain complex technologies and concepts in a clear and lucid manner, connecting them to the broader business in a way that is compelling and useful for the professional reader.
A proven ability to write clearly and analytically for a professional audience.
A professional, collaborative and teamoriented approach to your work.
A passion for being part of The Wall Street Journal's fastpaced, global news organization, and meeting the highest standards of business journalism.

To apply, please submit a resume, a cover letter explaining how you would approach the role and samples of your work.
